All are invited to join for UW-Superior’s bi-annual ‘Red Cross Day‘ held in collaboration with the local American Red Cross Northland Chapter. This year’s event will take place on Wednesday, March 25 with activities from 9am-6pm in the Yellowjacket Union. 

‘Mail Call for Veterans’ Letter-Writing and Learn About Becoming a Red Cross Volunteer

Yellowjacket Union Shippar Atrium | 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

In an effort to reduce the social isolation of Veterans living in care settings, the Red Cross collects over 10,000 messages annually that are distributed to local military units and Veterans. During Red Cross Day, people are invited to write notes of appreciation for these local Heroes.

Hands-only CPR

Yellowjacket Union Shippar Atrium | 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Red Cross staff and volunteers will be training in delivering hands-only CPR and familiarity with using an AED. Hands-only CPR is conducted without rescue breaths, which makes it simple to learn and easy to remember. This valuable skill takes less than 15 minutes to learn.

Refugee Exhibit

Yellowjacket Union Great Rooms | 11 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. | Zoom Options

UW-Superior students will teach fellow students, community members and faculty/staff about refugees and international humanitarian law and the Red Cross by facilitating an exhibit titled “Refugee” for 60 Minutes. Times are 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm. To join via zoom, please use this link – https://wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/j/97409138375
